git config - Add option when key contains double quotes

Is there a way to add a configuration option with git config when there are double quotes in the key?

In Gerrit there is an option commentlink "jira" as the key (more information). No matter what I try, escaping the space and double quotes, use single quotes etc, nothing works. No matter what I try the result is (or similar):

error: invalid key: commentlink "jira".match

As per documentation, the command should be:

git config -f <filename> "commentlink.jira.match" '([A-Z]+-[0-9]+)'

On disk this will be written as:

[commentlink "jira"]
        match = ([A-Z]+-[0-9]+)
